Have you done the acceleration demo like in B.J. Allen-Conn & Kim
Rose's "Powerful Ideas in the Classroom" book and demoed on the
"Squeakers" DVD and a bit in Alan's TED Talk?<br>TED Talk: <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/228" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/228</a><br>
<br>Also, middle schoolers study angles. That might be an easy one to create one yourself. <br><br>Cheers,<br><font color="#888888">Darius</font><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 8:32 AM, Joe Apuzzo <<a href="mailto:japuzzo@gmail.com">japuzzo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

I'm working up my slides and I will be using the latest squeakland/etoys<br>
build to demo.<br>
I've done the "car" demo ( mastered that) and also can demo the "car on<br>
a track".<br>
But does anyone have any suggestions for math and science? aka something<br>
that<br>
I can build on the fly and show a topic that a Middle School or High<br>
School teacher<br>
would do in class?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
